No, there’s no need to make a change as it’s still the same person.
Just amend your records so any future correspondence goes to the new name and if ever a possession notice was required (hopefully not) there would need to be a little note in the court form explaining the difference in name. Worry about that if it’s needed though!
Many thanks for you advice
